No problem with this…
It probably will help Biden …
It was NOT a steel or concrete wall type monument that would have cost in the billions….
In addition…
Biden, in his remarks went on to say a fence won’t stop illegal immigration…
Other Democrats have had problems with talking about illegal immigration ….
Biden IS on record against it….
But the issue today is how people are treated when they apply for asylum ….
Biden also called for a crackdown on companies that hire “illegals.”
“I voted for a fence, I voted, unlike most Democrats — and some of you won’t like it — I voted for 700 miles of fence,” Biden said at the time. “But, let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high, unless you change the dynamic in Mexico and — and you will not like this, and — punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in fact, they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest is window dressing.”
“Now, I know I’m not supposed to say it that bluntly, but they’re the facts, they’re the facts,” Biden continued. “And so everything else we do is in between here. Everything else we do is at the margins. And the reason why I add that parenthetically, why I believe the fence is needed, does not have anything to do with immigration as much as drugs. And let me tell you something, folks, people are driving across that border with tons, tons, hear me, tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin and it’s all coming up through corrupt Mexico.”
Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, defended the remarks to CNN, saying that the former vice president had made the point that building a barrier along the border will not solve the problem of illegal immigration into the country….
